Practice Editing Here (Nov 15th in-class Wiki session work)

 * This is a place to practice clicking the "edit" button and practice adding references (via the citation button).

Task:

Hello


 * 1) Find a peer-reviewed journal article on PubMed. Practice inserting your citation in the above space using the "cite" tool
 * 2) Choose one "B-level" medical article on Wikipedia from the following list: https://wp1.openzim.org/#/project/Medicine/articles?quality=B-Class&importance=High-Class
 * 3) Practice editing live on Wikipedia by finding a typo in the text or improving the clarity/readability of a sentence by adjusting a few words in a sentence.

Assignment # 3- please post an anonymous copy here!
Proposed Change: After the sentence "They can also look yellowish in people with darker skin" Insert the following change “As the patches spread, they can evolve into palpable plaques, known as the plaque stage” (Pinter-Brown & Schwartz, 2020).

Rationale: Although the article does mention that the plaque stages follows the patch stage, a smooth and logical transition into discussing the plaque stage is not found. Through the proposed change, there is a better understanding of how the patch stage progresses to the plaque stage.

Critique of Source: The resource is a point of care tool for medical professionals that includes information about the topic and clinical guidelines. The secondary resource also follows the MEDRS criteria for sources accepted by Wikipedia. The source was updated recently (2020) and includes up-to-date information. The authors, editors, and other contributors all revealed no conflict of interest.

What to post on the Wikipedia article talk page (part of assignment 3)

 * This will also be covered on Nov 15th in class. Your group should use the below template to share an outline of your proposed improvements (including your new wording and citations). Article talk pages are not places to share your assignment answers. The Wikipedia community will be more interested in viewing your exact article improvement suggestions including where you plan to improve the article (which section), what wording you suggest, and the exact citation (Note: all citations must meet WP:MEDRS)
 * You will not be able to paste citations directly from your sandbox to talk pages (unless you are interested in editing/learning Wiki-code in the "source editing" mode). We suggest re-adding your citations on the talk page manually (using the cite button and populating the citation by pasting in the DOI, website, or PMID). You will have to repeat this process yet again when you edit the actual article live.
